Wonder Scratchings

Welcome to Wonder City.Where the lights are bright, the snacks are protein-packed, and the truth is carefully recycled.

In the year 2050, Wonder City runs on electricity, obedience, and Wonder Foods delicious protein snacks that keep everyone full, happy, and gloriously overweight. Exercise is suspicious. Vegetables are misunderstood. Asking questions is dangerous.

Toby has never asked questions. Not really.Until the day he walks into a LaserLean clinic for his first body “trim” and begins to notice that something doesn’t quite add up.

Alongside Zara a fitness-loving misfit in a city that hates movement, Toby stumbles into a secret so ridiculous, so horrifying, and so profitable that it powers the entire city. From mega pigs to fat-recycling Eco factories, from influencer propaganda to government lotteries, Wonder City is built on lies layered so thick no one notices the smell anymore.

As the truth threatens to spill out, the city responds the only way it knows how:with mascots, giveaways, and brighter lies.

Darkly funny, sharply satirical, and uncomfortably close to reality, Wonder City is a dystopian comedy about control, convenience, and what happens when people would rather be lied to than be free.
